🇹🇭 PHUKET VEGETARIAN FESTIVAL 2024, I WAS SHOCKED! 😲😯

Описание: 🇹🇭 PHUKET VEGETARIAN FESTIVAL 2024, I WAS SHOCKED! 😲😯. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival in 2024 will take place from October 3 to October 11. This nine-day festival is a significant spiritual event observed by Phuket’s Chinese community, focusing on purification and merit-making. Participants adopt a strict vegan diet, avoiding not only animal products but also pungent ingredients like garlic and onions, believed to stimulate emotions and bodily reactions. The festival includes dramatic street processions, where devotees perform extreme rituals, such as fire-walking, which they believe are acts of devotion that bring them protection from the gods.

The event is marked by visits to local Chinese shrines, where devotees engage in prayers and rituals, all while dressed in white, symbolizing purity. Rituals include the raising of bamboo poles to invite the Nine Emperor Gods to descend and bless the community. Tourists are welcome to observe or respectfully participate in some of the celebrations, though it’s advised to follow basic guidelines such as dressing appropriately and being mindful of the solemn atmosphere.

Phuket Town’s streets will transform with a variety of food stalls offering unique vegan dishes that omit pungent spices, focusing on creative use of tofu, mushrooms, and other meat alternatives.
